192 Adalbert Ricken – Set of 2 Mushroom Studies – Collybia & Mycena – Germany, 1915
This set of two finely printed mushroom studies presents species from the genera Collybia and Mycena, rendered with scientific precision and elegant coloration. Originally published in Germany in 1915, these chromolithographic plates illustrate fungal structures in a style that balances taxonomic clarity with aesthetic appeal. Each sheet is captioned in Latin and German and reflects the early 20th-century tradition of natural science education and visual taxonomy.
Adalbert Ricken (1851–1921) was a German Franciscan friar and mycologist known for his contributions to fungal classification in Central Europe. His major work, Die Blätterpilze Deutschlands, remains a key reference in the study of agarics. Ricken’s legacy lies in his rigorous documentation and taxonomic clarity, bridging ecclesiastical discipline with scientific inquiry.
